Chapter two hundred and twenty seventh foregone conclusion
Xu Qinghuan lowered his head, as if he did not dare to look at Feng Shun.
Feng Shun raised his head and looked at the sky: "The sky is nice. Since the sedan chair has been carried, Miss Xu should not refuse anymore."
Xu Qinghuan didn't seem to understand Feng Shun's meaning: "Excuse me, the official, I am stupid, I don't know whose reward this is."
Feng Shun smiled meaningfully.
Immediately a chamberlain came to urge: "Miss Xu, please invite me!"
Xu Qinghuan then followed the chamberlain and got on the sedan, but he didn't say a word from the beginning to the end.
The sedan was lifted up smoothly and walked forward without anything happening.
Feng Shun watched the sedan disappear before his eyes, and then led the people back into the main hall where the emperor rested.
The emperor was concentrating on writing. Feng Shun did not dare to speak and just stood aside and waited. When the emperor put down the pen in his hand, he took a towel and stepped forward to serve him.
"What happened?" the emperor asked.
"No," Feng Shun whispered, "The eldest lady of the Anyi Marquis Mansion was a little surprised at first. She asked the servant whose reward this was, and then asked the servant to help her get into the sedan chair."
When the emperor heard this, he looked at Feng Shun with a hint of curiosity in his eyes: "What then?"
"No more," Feng Shun said, "the sedan just left."
The emperor looked a little disappointed: "He's not as smart as the rumors say. He's no different from them."
Feng Shundao: "The Queen Mother is very fond of her, and she has been rewarded a lot this time."
"It's just a means," the emperor said. "Who knows what she is thinking in her heart? Just like when she helped me to rise to power, she just had no choice. I know it very well."
Feng Shun did not dare to say anything more.
The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly: "So I really like Madam Zhang." Thanks to Madam Zhang, he made the Queen Mother and Zhang Yuci shut up about Zhang Yucong.
"Occasionally send something to Mrs. Zhang. Don't let her die, otherwise I will lose a lot of fun." The emperor threw away the towel in his hand, "I have to have someone to relieve my boredom due to the intrigues every day."
He thought Mrs. Xu was also an interesting person, so he raised his hand to tease her. If it suited him, he would probably praise Mrs. Xu, but he didn't expect that the result would really disappoint him.
"What do you think about the commotion in Cining Palace these past two days?"
Upon hearing the emperor's inquiry, Feng Shun immediately said: "Since Rong Xiao's matter is related to the Xie family, the first person to be suspicious is naturally King Jian. After expelling the Zhang family from Changzhou, Changzhou has become a land without one. Who can rob it?"
past……"
At this point, Feng Shun suddenly stopped. He saw the murderous intent in the emperor's eyes: "It's my fault. I didn't mean that. All the people in the Zhou Dynasty belong to the emperor, but some people have evil intentions."
The haze in the emperor's eyes suddenly dissipated: "I just like Feng Qing to tell the truth. There are already too many people telling lies in front of me. Feng Qing is right. They all want to seize my kingdom and surrender on the surface.
As for me, I don't know what tricks are being played behind the scenes. On the surface, King Jian seems to have no interest in government affairs, but who knows what he is thinking behind the scenes.
And the Zhang family, after Zhang Yucong was imprisoned, Zhang Yuci was very quiet."
Feng Shundao: "The Zhang family invited the Queen Mother to come forward and ordered the eldest lady of the Anyi Marquis Mansion to investigate the case. She probably wanted to see the current situation clearly."
The emperor thought for a while: "Looking at it this way, Marquis Anyi is still dedicated to serving the court." He smiled slightly at this, "But I still don't believe him. They are all smart, and I am not a fool. I have been since a few years ago
After the Changzhou magistrate case, people were quietly deployed."
When the emperor said this, the chamberlain came to report: "The eldest princess Huayang's consort is here."
"Let him come in." The emperor sat on the throne again.
The eldest princess's consort, Su Wan, walked into the main hall. The prince-in-law had an ordinary appearance and a low background. The emperor had always been curious as to why the princess had fallen in love with him.
If it weren't for Princess Huayang's firm attitude, I'm afraid this marriage wouldn't have been possible. The Su family has been in the apricot forest for generations. If it weren't for Princess Shang, Su Wan would have been nothing more than an imperial envoy.
Su Wan stepped forward and saluted.
"Get up," the emperor looked at Su Wan, "how are you going to Changzhou?"
Su Wan said: "Changzhou Navy is already preparing for war. We are just waiting for the imperial court to send more troops to Changzhou."
The emperor nodded: "How do you think this battle will turn out?"
Su Wan said: "Wei Chen feels that we will definitely win. After this battle, the Zhang family in Changzhou will also be cleaned up, and the entire Changzhou will return to the hands of the imperial court."
The emperor's eyes flashed with excitement: "I'm afraid there are still people plotting against me secretly."
Su Wan thought for a while: "I just heard that something happened in Prince Jian's Mansion. The Xie family is a big family in Changzhou. The Zhang family has been rampant in Changzhou in recent years, causing complaints from all over Changzhou. The Xie family took the opportunity to win people's hearts, just to wait until
When the imperial court punished the Zhang family, they took the opportunity to come in and replace the Zhang family. Who is the person behind the Xie family is very important. Since something fishy has been exposed, something will definitely be gained if we continue to trace it."
The emperor liked talking to Su Wan very much. Su Wan had a clear mind and could always think what he was thinking: "Now I know why the emperor wants to marry you."
Su Wan bowed: "It's the eldest princess's love."
The emperor smiled slightly: "The emperor's sister has recently found a new love, and she is in a much better mood. She promised to come to the palace to have a banquet with me tomorrow."
Su Wan was very surprised: "Wei Chen didn't expect that."
The emperor said: "It seems that the consort has not returned to the eldest princess's mansion yet."
"No," Su Wan said helplessly, "Since I have the emperor's order, I naturally have to go to the palace first to report. What the Holy One said...the eldest princess's new love..."
The emperor laughed loudly: "I see that your husband and wife are always tepid. It is rare for the prince-in-law to be anxious today. There is no need for the prince-in-law to worry. The emperor's new love I am talking about is a woman."
Su Wan said: "The emperor is talking about the eldest lady of the Anyi Hou Mansion. This eldest lady is indeed extraordinary."
"I don't think so," the emperor said, "I'll give it a try today, but I'm just an ordinary person."
Su Wan was a little curious.
The emperor glanced at Feng Shun, who told him what had just happened.
Su Wan's eyes lit up and he smiled without saying a word.
The emperor said nothing, and his eyes gradually became a little cold.
Su Wan also stopped smiling: "Perhaps this is the cleverness of Miss Xu. You have to be more careful in the palace. The more ordinary you are, the better you can keep safe."
The emperor thought for a moment after hearing these words: "After hearing what the prince consort said, it does make some sense."
The door of the main hall reopened, Su Wan resigned and went all the way back to the eldest princess's mansion. As soon as he stepped through the gate, he saw a rose blooming in the courtyard.
Su Wan stretched out his hand and pinched off the rose branch gently, holding the flower in his palm, then suddenly turned his hand over and let the flower fall into the soil.
Su Wan raised his head and looked at the sky above his head. The sky was blue and cloudless. It was a good weather.
…
Xu Qinghuan returned to Anyihou Mansion. As soon as he jumped off the carriage, he saw servants moving boxes and cages in the yard.
"What's going on?" Xu Qinghuan asked.
Yin Gui stepped forward and said, "Master Hou has received the documents and will go to Changzhou tomorrow."
Their father was about to leave, and they would have to wait for news in Beijing.
"Sister." Xu Qingyue just came out of Mrs. Xu's room. When she saw Xu Qinghuan, she immediately took her hand.
The two sisters came into the house to talk.
Seeing no one around, Xu Qingyue lowered her voice: "Sister, will you follow me to Changzhou?"
Xu Qinghuan shook her head. She hadn't made up her mind yet. Before that, she had to meet someone. Maybe that person could give her the answer and tell her whether she should stay or leave for Changzhou.
